Shorts for going long.

Merino wool is the prime choice for keeping your temperature and comfort in check in cooler temperatures, but you don't have to confine this amazing material to just baselayers and socks. The Ibex Men's Merino Bib Shorts feature New Zealand sourced Merino fibers blended with a little bit of Spandex so they can conform to your every movement on the bike and provide with you the perfect amount of warmth and breathability all the while. Inside, the multi-density, anatomically shaped chamois comes from the renowned manufacturer CyTech in Italy and is designed to keep you supported throughout your longest base-mile rides.

I've been a fan of Ibex for years, but the quality of their bike clothing seems to be headed south. These shorts are a step above most brands out there, but by comparison to previous incarnations of Ibex shorts, they are substandard. The leg grippers are dicey. Biggest complaint it the pad. The pad on my older pair was comfortable and indestructible. On this pair, the pad seems cheap for a $ pair of shorts, and it does not fit as well - kind of sticks out rather than conforming to my butt. The wool is still great, and I will never go back to polyester shorts as long as wool is available. Thinking of looking at other brands the next time I need a pair of shorts.
